    French morals
    BBC
    ” French cement maker Lafarge has been found guilty of paying millions of dollars in protection money to jihadist groups, including the group calling itself Islamic State (IS), to keep its business running in Syria during the civil war.

    Eight ex-Lafarge employees were also found guilty of financing terrorism, including former CEO Bruno Lafont who was jailed for six years on Monday.

    The court in Paris found that Lafarge paid groups $6.5m (€5.59m; £4.83m) between 2013 and 2014 to keep its plant operating in northern Syria.

    Judge Isabelle Prevost-Desprez said such payments had allowed proscribed organisations to gain control of the country's natural resources, enabling them to finance attacks across the Middle East and Europe.

    At least the state has prosecuted them, and some of those responsible are doing bird...

    Last thing you want if you've got your nose within smelling distance and your tongue within tasting distance of your chosen partner's genitals is a natural smell partly masked by an overpowering chemical agent. 

    I mean armpit licking is a relatively minority sport but 'downstairs deodorant' is all levels of wrong.😑 
    Even worse if he starts swinging his bollocks in your face 
    Ffs I’m not going to keep apologising!

    Unfairness in the world. 
    If I thought I was Jesus and said my actions were leading to world peace I would be sectioned and carted off to Littlebrook nut house (again).

    I was actually in a nut house one time where a bloke whose medication was making him see double asked if I could read a book to him. Having nothing else to do I agreed. It was the bible. I assumed he was religious and read various bits for him. When I read one passage through he asked me to re/read it and he looked delighted and said ‘that’s about me - I’m Jesus’. 
    I thought it was probably about time to go back to basket weaving.

I assumed he was religious and read various bits for him. Half way through he asked me to read a passage again. I re-read it and he look delighted and said ‘that’s about me - I’m Jesus’.

    ...instead of reading to basket cases ?  B)

    Bloody ticketing sites. Went on to get front row seats for the Scourging at the Pillar and the price of them was ridiculous and all those extra fees they add on, should be banned, makes a once in a lifetime scourging out of reach for all but the richest. Not even a pre-sale for early interest types.

    Managers not wearing club gear. It’s like a fashion show on the sidelines these days.

    Recycling bins.
    Sevenoaks District Council are having yet another change of bins. Just as we were getting used to the ones from last year. The latest to arrive is an indoor and outdoor food waste bin. There shouldn't be any food waste while people need to use food banks. 
    Far too much waste in this society.

    We're all different but I throw away my potato peelings, apple cores, coffee grounds and leaves off the outside of cauliflowers.

    Surely this is what we have in Bexley and is for the likes of vegetable peelings and scraps? 

    Hardly a parallel with food waste in society.

    Ditch the coffee grounds and you'll have a decent vegetable stock to be fair.
